2012 Rolls Royce Ghost EWB .. My Dad's car..priced right

Good luck with the sale!

 

I think you should have taken the 153 . I'm not a car dealer but do make deals for a living. Maybe the prospective buyer was thinking the same thing. GLWS.

 

I agree, if you are asking 155 , 153 seems like a very reasonable offer. Luxury items such as these cars are a want based economy, no one needs to buy a RR, but they want one. im sure the buyer is wondering , same as you. why would you not sell such a high ticket item at a 1.25 % discount. but hey it is your car and your choice. For all i know you have no need to sell the car. So, you might be alot less motivated to discount the price of car.
anyway beautiful car and GLWS.

 

Totally disagree! He's asking $160k, which already is a very good price for a 2012 Ghost. He's now saying they will take $155k. That's a steal! People are just F'n cheap and always want to feel like they're getting over on someone.

Try selling a car here yourselves. You'll quickly learn what a slew of low ballers there are here on an already fair priced car. Not to mention make agreed upon sales only to never hear back from that agreed "buyer".

 

Believe me, I know!!

Tell your Pops not to take a penny less than $155k! That's a great deal!!

 

hey that's the rub of selling a car privately. dealing with all the nonsense. I was not commenting on the value of the car. just the economics of the deal. i think the issue is tire kickers, not the $153 k offer. if the guy was serious and showed up with cash in hand , would you really turn 153 k away over 2 k?

 

You found me! I want one.... but sorry I can't afford it. Beautiful car GLWS

 

Yes, I would. And I actually did just that with a $2k difference offer on my current car. If I'm already pricing a car attractively and don't NEED to sell, why give it away?

On the other hand, (as a buyer) I would never let a car get away that I desperately wanted over $2k.

 

like i said , you are looking for a buyer who DESPERATELY wants your paticular car, and a seller with no need to sell. supply and demand. Switch those and things change. I too would pay the extra 2k if it is a car i wanted. but if i was selling, i'd probably drop the 2k, i could make alot more than 2k with 153 k cash to invest.But hey to each his own. You are not wrong or right, it is the seller's choice.

 

+1 on all.
Welcome to car sales, tire kickers galore.
Anywya, good luck on Ghost sale, it will sell

 

As someone who buys/sells items every week, I'm shocked the deal wasn't done over a 1% price variance. You are correct though, you can hold the car as long as you want until you get the price you ask. You also have to factor your time value.... how many more tirekickers do you want to deal with to get an extra 2k? Beautiful vehicle and I'm sure it will sell very soon!

 

+ 1. Ps great looking car.

 

Damn, a year too early for me...GLWS

 

Nice deal Congrats! 116k now that's an insult shame on those guys!

 

An illustration of the wacky, contrived market we have here. It seems to be acceptable that dealers can offer ridiculously low amounts in trade ($116k in this case) and then turn around and try to sell them for ridiculously high amounts ($195k from reading the thread) without doing a thing in between (literally, most of these cowboys don't even wash the cars between buying and selling). I'm sure they don't get the numbers they are asking for but it makes for a very unpleasant experience. I just bought the F430 in 15 minutes. My offer was accepted, no messing around, no countering etc. Why can't it be more like that all the time?

Glad you sold the car, she's a beaut

 

I'm a bit of a Rolls buff and that's the nicest spec I've seen. Great job on the interior. Almost a shame really to part with that car so soon but I'm the same way...

 

Did the buyer offer to send BofA a check for the total plus $10,000, saying "You pay the shipper and keep anything extra for your troubles. I am prince Hakeem Olajuwon from Nigeria"...?

 

that sucks, so sad people are not up front about their intentions.

 

Update?
